  Thanks, and it was indeed just a moment and a moment in the right place. A minute latter the sun went back behind the clouds for the remainder of our days journey.

  Thanks Liz, I also like the subtle colors and perhaps it is the winters dim light making them so subtle?

    I think it may be the dim light. Without bright sunlight, the white and dark seem to absorb any color that might be left.

      I agree and that lack of full sunlight makes for a kind of special light and in essence reflects winter.

Wonderful. 🙂 … Is that snowy “cloud” in the background to the right (behind the tree) mist/fog or an upcoming snow storm? It looks like as if a dangerous cloud has landed… slightly threatening.

  Hi Suzan, that cloud is steam from a fuser/thermal feature. In the cold of winter they put off so much steam that they make those ominous looking clouds. Hope your day is going well.

        Well, how else could you get people who are forced to work with each other every day to talk to each other? 😉
        How else will bosses have the chance to bathe in their glory and chew their employees’ ears off while those are forced to listen, nod and smile?
        Where else will you have the chance to observe human behavior better as in meetings? 😉
        
        Sorry, being a bit sarcastic here. I’ve been in too many bad (and mad) meetings the past 15 years already.

        I love to walk by the conference room in our office complex and peek in on meeting to observe the behavior you mention. Most os the time participants are on their phones checking email, chatting with neighbors etc. Meeting are indeed a great study of human behavior.

What an amazing shot, Mike. I love the quality of light throughout the whole image. Talk about capturing a perfect moment in time. The reflection is a bonus!

  Hi Eliza, sometimes that old adage right place at the right times really does apply. We were headed back in after a full day out skiing and happened to be at this pool as the sun broke throughout for just about 5 minutes.
